Meadow Death Camas (Zigadenus venenosus var. venenosus)

Near Eight-Dollar Mountain, Selma, OR, 4/2015.

Some believe that mistaking the poisonous root of the Death Camas for the edible root of the Common Camas was what caused the death of Christopher McCandles aka Alex Supertramp, whose life and death was chronicled in the book and film Into the Wild.
